Bioinformatics Analysis of gB Gene of Porcine Lymphotropic Herpesviruses Strain GD27

The glycoproteins B (gB) gene of porcine lymphotropic herpesviruses 2 (PLHV-2)was amplified by PCR and sequenced, then bioinformatics analysis were conducted. The gB protein was composed of 876 amino acids, the molecular formula was C₄₅₀₀H₆₉₇₅N₁₁₉₉O₁₃₅₁S₄₀, the molecular mass was 100.77 ku, the value of theoretical isoelectric point was 6.45, and the instability index was 38.58. The prediction of secondary structure revealed that some alpha helixes and beta sheets exist in protein while random coil was major pattern. It had a signal peptide in the position 1-39 amino acids and a transmembrane helice in the position 761-780 amino acids. It contained several prosites and several intrinsically disordered proteins. Tertiary structure model of gB protein showed a fusion loop. Multiple antigenic epitope located in gB through comprehensive analysis prediction method. It was suggested that gB gene could be as a candidate antigen for vaccination of PLHV-2.     

Effects of Diets with Different Energy and Protein Levels on mRNA Expression of Glucose Transporters in Tan Sheep

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of the diets with different energy and protein levels on mRNA expression of glucose transporters in the small intestine and muscle of Tan sheep. A total of 112 healthy Tan sheep (half male and half female) with similar initial live weight were randomly divided into four groups with four replicates per group and seven sheep per replicate. According to the Feeding Standard of Meat-producing Sheep and Goats (NY/T 816—2004),each group was fed diet with different levels of energy and protein respectively:0.84×standard level (group Ⅰ),0.96×standard level (group Ⅱ),1.08×standard level (group Ⅲ) and 1.20×standard level (group Ⅳ). The test period were divided into two stages by body weight of sheep (29-35 and 36-40 kg). At the end of each stage,one sheep was slaughtered at each replicate,and small intestine and muscle samples were collected to study mRNA relative expression of SGLT1,GLUT4 and GLUT5 genes by Real-time PCR. The results indicated that:SGLT1 gene mRNA expression levels of group Ⅲ was significantly higher than other groups in small intestine at the end of 29-35 kg stage (P< 0.05);At the end of 36-40 kg stage,the SGLT1 gene mRNA expression levels had no significant difference among the four groups (P> 0.05).In muscle,the SGLT1 gene mRNA expression level increased with the rise of energy and protein levels at both stages ,and that of group Ⅳ were the highest.In small intestine,at the end of 29-35 kg stage,the GLUT4 gene mRNA expression levels had no significant difference among the four groups (P> 0.05);At the end of 36-40 kg stage,the GLUT4 gene mRNA expression level increased with the rise of energy and protein levels,and that of group Ⅳ were significantly higher than the other groups (P< 0.05).In muscle,the GLUT4 gene mRNA expression level were the highest in group Ⅳ at both stages,and significantly higher than group Ⅰ (P< 0.05). The GLUT5 gene mRNA expression did not show any regularity at both stages. In conclusion,diets with different levels of energy and protein could significantly affect the mRNA expression of SGLT1 and GLUT4 genes,and affect absorption of glucose in sheep.     

Prokaryotic Expression and Immunogenicity Analysis of N Protein from Vesicular Stomatitis Virus

This study was aimed to clone and express the specific antigen nucleoprotein (N) of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and then purify and analyze its immunogenicity. Based on published VSV genome N gene sequence in GenBank, two kinds of N genes of VSV with different serotypes were synthesized, respectively. After sequence analysis, one pair of specific primers was designed and synthesized, N gene fragment with about 1 300 bp length was amplified by PCR, and subcloned into pCold Ⅰ expression vector. The recombinant N protein was induced with IPTG and purified by Ni-NTA. The results of SDS-PAGE showed that the N gene was successfully expressed in E. coli and the molecular weight of protein was 50 ku; The results of Western blotting showed that this recombined protein specifically reacted with polyclonal antibody serum of VSV. The recombinant vector with VSV-IND and VSV-NJ were successfully constructed, and the N protein was solubly expressed in E. coli, and the purified protein demonstrated promising immunogenicity.     

Study on the Virulence Gene Distribution and Genetic Evolution of Cattle Shiga Toxin-producing Escherichia coli Isolates

This study was aimed to understand the relationship of virulence gene distribution and genetic evolution between cattle originated Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and human originated enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157. This experiment collected 18 strains STEC in a dairy farm from Jiangsu province and 9 STEC reference strains (human, sheep, swine and avian), according to the method of U.S. Centers for Disease Prevention and Control Center (PulseNet), using the XbaⅠ enzyme digestion and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis, virulence genes were detected in some STEC isolates. The virulence gene distribution of O157 from different origin was remarkably different. The cattle originated STEC O157 and the human originated EHEC O157:H7 (EDL933W) had the most similar virulence gene distribution. In contrast, virulence genes were lack in cattle STEC O18 and O26, even though the cattle STEC O18 and O26 had the similar genotype as human EHEC O157:H7 (EDL933W). PFGE of Xba Ⅰ digested chromosomal DNA from 27 isolates of STEC exhibited 22 profiles. In general,the Dice coefficients of different originated STEC ranged from 72% to 100%.Cattle STEC O157 had a high similarity with two strains of human originated EHEC O157, while a low similarity was demonstrated between cattle STEC O157 and STEC O157 of swine and avian. The Dice coefficients of the cattle STEC O157 and the two strains of human EHEC O157 ranged from 83% to 95%. The Dice coefficients of cattle STEC O26 (Ⅶ,Ⅷ) and the two strains of human EHEC O157 were more than 82%. Therefore, it was concluded that the cattle STEC O157 and human EHEC O157 had a closer relationship in terms of virulence gene distribution and in genetic evolution.
